Summary

In what was certainly not supposed to be an episode of Waypoints, Rob, Patrick, Ren, and Cado all gather up to discuss the first episode of Halo, the Paramount Plus live action TV series based on the FPS juggernaut. Along the way, we learn that Ren has all of the Halo lore crammed into her skull alongside the assertion that "4 and 5 had good campaigns, actually." The crew discusses the production on the show, how it reads differently depending on your previous knowledge of Halo, and talk about how it compares to previous live action Halo media.

0:00.0	What's good internet it's March 31st 2022 and you are listening to Waypoint radio episode 471.
0:23.6	I'm your host Rob Zach and I'm wondering, has March always had 31 days in it? I can't seem to remember.
0:28.6	I'm joined by Patrick Lumpick. I now know that it definitely has that because when my youngest
0:36.3	to shout out to Elizabeth, you know, when you're obviously going through the record of my online
0:41.2	history and listen to these podcasts when you're older, do know that your dad shouted out your
0:45.5	second birthday when it was happening. But March 30th is a friend of mine, real scumbag. We did not
0:54.4	want our daughter to share a birthday with him. Did not want her birthday. Cosmically, we,
1:04.7	you know, like, you know, we're praying and then also didn't want to in April 1st. That just
1:08.4	seems like a kind of a cruel birthday to have as well. So we were like, can we just take long
1:12.4	enough to be March 31st and nailed it. So now I know there are 31 days because the birth god
1:19.8	shine upon us and allowed us to split the difference between those two days. Happy birthday.

1:32.5	the customary time when you hand over a thumb drive to your child and say time to start listening
1:36.9	to my podcast history. Here's all of it. Good luck. We also have a Renault price.
1:46.4	Howdy gamers. And our producer Ricardo Contreras. Yo.
1:52.2	So today we are considering all things, well, all things Halo on TV. We watched the pilot of the
2:02.0	new Halo TV series for Paramount Plus slash Showtime. And it's definitely it's definitely Paramount
2:08.8	Plus. It was it was it was a showtime production for a long time. And then they just love a production
2:13.6	credit, but they're like, they like, they shut it through like, it was a showtime, even what was
